I am not able to reproduce the exact behavior from #167 (comment) now, but I do see something similar.

When the mouse cursor crosses the left border of the Serial Monitor output field, all the text from there up is selected. This makes it difficult to get the leftmost character on line if you are selecting in an upwards direction.

When the mouse cursor crosses the right border of the Activity Bar, all the text in the entire Serial Monitor view, including the input field text (e.g., "Message (Ctrl + Enter to send message to '<board name>')"), the line ending menu text, and the baud rate menu text, and also the line numbers in the gutter of the editor view are selected.
